Need something light and fun to read? Because that's exactly what you'll get if you win this book. Read to the end to find out how.

I enjoyed Twice Loved by Lori Copeland because it was so nice to sit back, relax and soak up a good book. I love books that have a thick, intense plot, leaving you exhausted by the time you've finished the last page. But I also need and greatly appreciate something light and not so draining. Twice Loved is an easy read with fun and entertaining characters. Willow makes quite an entrance into her new little town, and therefore quite an impression on the other townsfolk. Especially certain menfolk.

Twice Loved deals with questions many people encounter when it comes to starting new romantic relationships. Do I follow my head? Or do I follow my heart? Willow is a strong-willed and very determined young lady. Which do you think she will follow?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Lori lives in the beautiful Ozarks with her husband Lance. Lance and Lori have three sons, two daughter-in-laws, and five wonderful grandchildren. They are very involved in their church, and active in supporting mission work in Mali, West Africa.

Lori began her writing career in 1982, writing for the secular book market. In 1995 after many years of writing, Lori sensed that God was calling her to use her gift of writing to honor Him. It was at that time that Lori began writing for the Christian book market. To date, she has more than 95 books published including Now And Alwaysand Bluebonnet Belle.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Texas, 1865 Willow Madison and her friends, Copper and Audrey taught school in neighboring Texas communities until the Yankees rode into the area and burned them out. In the midst of fear and chaos, survivors banded together to fight for what remained of their homes. Then word reached the people that the terrible war was over.

Now penniless but still hopeful, Willow vows she will take care of her friends, Copper and Audrey, and her ailing uncle, in Thunder Ridge, Texas, even if it means having to marry wealthy Silas Sterling, a man thirty years her senior. But standing in her way is handsome sawmill owner Tucker Gray, with his enticing eyes and infuriating headstrong manner—the man Willow cannot get out of her head . . . or her heart. Even though her friends beg her not to give up her dream of happiness, Willow is determined to do the right thing for those who are dearest to her. But which path does God want Willow to take: a life of duty and commitment . . . or a life of everlasting love?

C'mon In!

I've been wrapped up doing the mom-thing (and love it), but recently came back to one of my first loves -- books. In the past I'd stayed away from Christian fiction, thinking it'd be cheesy. But then my sis-in-law sent me home with one and when I finally read it in Dec 2007, I've been hooked since!

In this blog I post about books I've read and what I thought of them. They're (mostly) Christian fiction and non-fiction, but not all.

I'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment and tell me what you thought of the books, too, even if you don't agree with me! Or recommend a book to me...I'm always in the market for more! (No graphic violence or abundance of profanity, please.)
